Quad Rod CoreXY 3D Printer by MakersMic

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Quad Rod CoreXY printer is designed to provide a more stable carriage assembly through the use of 4 rods on the x axis rather the traditional two found in most other designs. Carriage stability is further enhanced through all of the carriage components being distributed evenly over the carriage. Z Axis uses a dual stepper 2 rod setup. Print volume for this printer is 260mm x 300mm x 350mm. This design utilizes 1" aluminum extrusions and 3/4" liner rods with Thompson pillow blocks. One of the pillow blocks will need to be disassembled to accomodate for the y axis bearings. For detailed assembly instructions please visit the MakersMic website or check out the build vlogs on youtube.
